New York Fashion Week is now not just about the fashions, but it’s also about which celebrity is sitting in your front row.  Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Carmen Electra, Kim Kardashian, Leighton Meester, and Rumer Willis have all taken a key seat this week and we here at Style Seen Daily have those pictures for you to check out.

Los Angeles is not really known as a place to experience new music, at least not these days, but we have a new found hope after our friend Beau Swayze from CAA invited us out to see this Australian band Andy Clockwise. Andy Kelly, a.k.a. Andy Clockwise along with his drummer Stella Mozgawa and Bassist Josh Norton rocked the famous Troubador. Not only did they impress us with their music, but we loved their style.

We’ve never wanted to be a performer more in our life, the female drummer Stella, who has a resume of playing with Smashing Pumpkins, KISS, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Perry Ferrell – to name a few – rocked her own style while rocking the room with her drumming skills. Doning a furry hat with ear flaps, black shorts, black tights with a run in them and a proper white blouse. Now usually we would say no one looks good in tights with holes, but if you saw Stella, well she can pulled it off – even that hat worked. Maybe its that we were in awe of her energy, or maybe it was just that she seemed like that sort of rocker chick we all have once wanted to be, in like an iconic Joan Jett way, whatever the case, we are big fans now.

She and the lead singer Andy created an electric energy that kept you both moving and staring, while the bassist rocked in and out of the act in the most perfect way. Then just when we did not think we could love Stella anymore, she jumped out from behind her drums and broke into song with Andy, “Open Relationship“, the words made us smile, laugh, even blush, and the beat forced us to bust a move. In an effort to share this song with you, we found a video, not the best quality, but its the best we have for now. Hopefully we can direct you to purchase their music sooner than later.

Style is certainly best when its original and unique, not only did Andy Clockwise win our ears, they won our eyes and we can’t wait to see what is next for them. A combination of Beck, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and maybe even Prince, with soul screams, a sense of humor, dual drumming and jumping into the crowds, they had us at hello, just like Tom Cruise did in Jerry Macguire.

To get Stella’s look and explore your own rockstar, even if it just means blasting music in your car and singing at the top of your lungs, we suggest the following;
1. white blouse, tommy hilfiger
2. black shorts, h&m
3. semi-opaque black tights, h&m

Fashion and lifestyle firm Tommy Hilfiger is merging its operations in the U.S. and Canada, the company confirmed on Friday, March 6, in a move that will create a new business unit called Tommy Hilfiger North America.

Some jobs will be lost in the merger, a spokesperson for Tommy Hilfiger confirmed this morning. “A few staff positions will be made redundant but it is close to nothing,” he said.

The changes come after a review of Tommy Hilfiger’s operations identified synergies between the two units which have both shifted their focus onto their retail businesses in recent years.

The new consolidated business will be headed by Gary Sheinbaum, group president of North American Retail.

Colleen Kelly, group president of North American Wholesale, will oversee U.S. and Canadian wholesale activities.

Sheinbaum and Kelly will continue to report directly to Fred Gehring, CEO of the Tommy Hilfiger Group.

Once the integration is complete in June 2009, Howard Starr, CEO of Tommy Hilfiger Canada, will resign.

The changes come after a period in which the company has been expanding its retail business in Canada where it operates more than 50 retail locations.

Under Tommy Hilfiger North America, the Montreal office will remain the Canadian corporate office with regional offices in Toronto and Vancouver.

“The unprecedented economic crisis around the world has led us, like all other companies, to review the business structure and identify areas of consolidation and efficiency,” said Fred Gehring in a statement mailed to just-style.

“The business profiles of Tommy Hilfiger USA and Tommy Hilfiger Canada have many parallels, including a recent shift to a primarily retail business, creating an opportunity to maximize alignment and synergy.

“The integration is in line with our strategy to consolidate brand management and enhance our international presence by approaching markets in a globally coordinated effort.”

Tommy Hilfiger has been making a major push to expand its retail presence in the U.S., and is seeing significant growth from its partnership with Macy’s — which has been the exclusive department store retailer of its men’s and women’s sportswear since last autumn.

In its most recent financial update, the firm, which is owned by private equity firm Apax Partners, said its U.S. sales rose 16.7% to $356m in the six months to 30 September. U.S. same-store sales were up 6.0%. However, sales in Canada were 1.9% below last year.
